Details
Reading buffers can be created and allocated dynamically using this function. Use bufferSize to designate the
number of readings the buffer can store.
Dynamically allocated reading buffers can be used interchangeably with the smuX.nvbufferY buffers.
A reading buffer can be deleted by setting all references to the reading buffer equal to nil, then running the
garbage collector (see the collectgarbage() function in
Example
mybuffer2 = smua.makebuffer(200)
